Please help me....I need help with a song(kinda long)

Original post by dm24angel

I'm starting to get really upset over trying to find a song to dance with my father to. I keep changing my mind and he basically wants me to decide.

Background is that my parents split when I was less then 2 yrs old and I saw my dad two times untill I was 19...then we started to talk again and over the last 10 years have formed a good relationship. I know he loves me to death as I do him and I want to pick this song to express some of that, but I cant seem to find anything. None of the typical 'daddy' or Father/Daughter songs seem to apply since more or less he didnt raise me until I was close to an adult already.

Please...any suggestions are appreciated. I feel like crying trying to find something that fits and expresses how happy I am with where we are today in our lives as I get married.

dm24-what about a song that does not have to do with father/daughter relationships, but is upbeat and more about you on this day and what he might be thinking while looking at you!

I chose 'Isn't she lovely' by Stevie Wonder.

I like 'Through the Years' by Kenny Rogers.

What about this Josh Grobin song? It fits a little...I cant stop thinking about this and how I cant find anything! Its making me crazy..

Your Still You

Through the darkness
I can see your light
And you will always shine
And I can feel your heart in mine
Your face I've memorized
I idolize just you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
I've loved you for so long
And after all is said and done
You're still you
After all
You're still you

You walk past me
I can feel your pain
Time changes everything
One truth always stays the same
You're still you
After all
You're still you

I look up to
Everything you are
In my eyes you do no wrong
And I believe in you
Although you never asked me to
I will remember you
And what life put you through

And in this cruel and lonely world
I found one love
You're still you
After all
You're still you




I think this would be a great song. Anything Josh Grobin is beautiful!!

OK, we will solve this dm24angel. You have been so helpful to me so I've been thinking about this on and off today. I just asked FH, a musician, and her was no help but he did say 'Hey why don't you look at that list the dj gave us.' So here it is. I'm sure you have seen a lot of these. I don't know all of them.

A Song for My Daughter- Miki Viereck
Because You Loved Me-Celine Dio
Butterfly Kisses
Daddy's Hands- Holly Dunn
Daughter of Mine-John McDermott
My Special Angel- Bobby Hemls
Unforgettable- Natalie Cole
You Decorated My Life- Kenny Rogers
You're the Inspiration-Chicago

A Smile Like Yours- Natlie Cole
Beautiful in My Eyes- Joshua Kadison
Can I HAve This Dance- Anne Murray
I am Your Child- Barry Manilow
If... -BRead
Memories- Elvis Presley
Sunrise, Sunset- Fiddler on the Roof
The Rose- Bette Midler
I Need You to Turn To-Elton John
Love of My Life- Carly Simon
The Times of Our Lives- Paul Anka
You are My Special Angel- Bobby Helms
You've Got a Friend- James Taylor or Carole King
Your Song- Elton John
Blessed- Elton John

Does your dad have any favorite artists in particular? That might help you. Have you thought of movie soundtracks?

I don't know the songs very well.

Hope this helps.

Oh, and to the rest of the girls thanks for the hugs about my Dad. I thought I was ok with it (seven years into it) but not having my mom alive and my Dad in the state he is in... I'm realizing how big of a part all of your parents are playing in your day. When I hear about the 'drama from your mammas' in some ways I'm thankful and in other's I'm sad.

Oh, wait another idea... Have you tried calling the oldies station? Maybe WFUV they are independent public Fordham University station and the dj's know so much.

OK this post is ridiculously long.
